Going to GF without dining reservations

[cindy17]

I have a friend who will be staying offsite. On her one day she won’t be doing parks she was thinking about going to see Grand Floridian. She would not have a park or GF dining reservation. Can she just drive her car and park there? Or will gate keeper not allow this without a dining reservation? Parking would be free I would hope?

Might be turned away at the gate without a ADR or hotel reservation. Probably the easiest thing is to park at DS and use the GF bus.

My friend tried to visit on her departure day last month. She had been staying on site at a different hotel but they would not let her in. Wouldn’t let the car in and wouldn’t let her husband drop her off either.

Is she staying elsewhere onsite? She could bus to MK and walk, boat, or monorail to GF.

Set up a DVC meeting. You park for free. They don't take long. VGF is in active sales, and they'll actually show you around. It's not a pushy timeshare-y thing. Just don't buy it.

She’s staying offsite. She will prob go via Disney springs or possibly make a dining reservation

I suggest GF Cafe. Cheery, light-bright atmosphere and very good food.

Pretty easy to get a ressie, too.

Maybe you can drop off at the TTC without paying parking? Then she could take the monorail over from there.
